International Resources

ACM SIGGRAPH is an international organization, with members focused on creating and discovering computer graphics/interactivity at companies, studios and research centers around the world. Attendees and contributors of its annual conferences travel far and near to create, inspire and enjoy the vibrant sense of community that is SIGGRAPH. To support this, the ACM SIGGRAPH International Resources Committee (IRC) hosts the International Center at the SIGGRAPH conference, and also drives year-round strategies that promote ACM SIGGRAPH, connect our global community, and provide useful services.

Throughout the Year

Outside of the SIGRAPH conferences, all year long, the International Resources Committee facilitates worldwide collaboration in the SIGGRAPH community and encourages participation in all of the programs and events that are part of ACM/ ACM SIGGRAPH. Follow us on our social media channels:

At the SIGGRAPH Conferences

Multilingual Audio Guides

Every year, the International Resources Committee produces audio guides (audio files and text documents in PDF format) that highlight the work displayed in the Art Gallery and the demos in Emerging Technologies (and other areas, from year to year). The podcasts are available in multiple languages, including: English, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.

At the SIGGRAPH conference in North America, the International Center features a visitor-services booth, a lounge, and the ACM SIGGRAPH Theater: a space for meetings, talks and demonstrations. At the SIGGRAPH Asia conference, we host a visitor-services booth, and in 2016 we will organize regional sessions to be held in one of the conference rooms.

Would you like to hold a presentation at the ACM SIGGRAPH Theater? Contact us.

English Review Service

The International Resources Committee’s English Review Service offers expertise that could greatly improve the material you submit to the SIGGRAPH conference. A team of native English-speaking volunteers will read your submission and provide suggestions to improve the legibility of the text in English. If you think your submission might benefit from this service, please read this year’s guidelines:

Will you need a visa to travel to the SIGGRAPH conference? What interesting events are happening in town during the conference? Which hotels offer shuttle service to the conference? Where can one exchange currency? We have the answers to your questions.

Triviatron - An ACM SIGGRAPH Trivia game in the Scavenger AR (Coming soon at SIGGRAPH 2017)

At SIGGRAPH 2017, we want all our attendees to know more about the internationality of ACM SIGGRAPH, the conference itself, and the many contributors that make it possible. For that reason, we have developed Triviatron -- a trivia game with fun facts and useful information about the present and past of SIGGRAPH. Download the Scavenger AR app and enjoy the Triviatron!
